    hey guys im stuck on a matter of if i want to use the short version of the domain or the long version. One will be the main the other will be a redirect or something.

    seopr10.com
    or
    seopagerank10.com

    pros short domain:
    easy to remember

    pros long domain:
    more keywords

    can you guys give me some input on which one i should choose?

    Spend the extra couple bucks and take them both!

    If you already have both, don't waste your time on this issue. Just pick one for the main site and one to redirect.

    It will not make any difference over the long term.

    I think the important thing is a domain that could be remembered easy....so in this case I think the second its better. Just my two cents.

    I currently have the following domains which one should i use because i view the second one as too long please tell me your input. Having pagerank as a keyword is a + yet having a short url is also good.

    seopr10.com
    seopagerank10.com

    please tell me which one would be better... thx

    I'd use the long one, it will give you more keywords and its more SEO.
